I am sorry, but I am not sure why should I upload in public logs/data generated by the script |
Possible Issue SourceI am not sure at this point, but it's probably a bug where the latest installer, supposedly, tries to execute the installer of the current version expecting the file of the latter is already in directory Once again I tried executing
Possible Workaround/SolutionThankfully it showed this error message, and I downloaded the file from GitHub repository Releases, copied it to
Et Voilà! ✨

Closing since the issue is resolved and doesn't have logs to diagnose the root cause. |

@OneBlue , thank you for the attention, but I am sorry, I believe it is a bug, and the issue must not be closed until a more clear clarification regarding this behavior. I stated the rationale behind absence of logs. Why does the installer of the latest version require an installer of the current/previous version is actually unclear. Is that an expected behavior of the installer in the first place? Besides, this is not a solution but a workaround, where I manually downloaded the file the installer implicitly required. |

Actual Behavior
First of all, thank you very much for the marvelous project! 🪐✨
Docker Desktop executes
wsl --updateunder the hood, and the latter fails for currently unknown reason.With the update fail, Docker Desktop will attempt to do the same over and over until only the user prohibits administrative permissions prompt, and that will end up with the following message:
When we try to update WSL manually, it looks like the following:
To clarify, seeing the
^CorCtrl+C- signalSIGINT, there was no such command pressed. The terminal was not getting any interaction duringwsl --updateexecution.It's probably worth to notice that WSL installation files are getting downloaded each time into

Diagnostic Logs(wsl-install-logs.txt) of this repository issue state various "error status codes", including16,21,22,23,1603,1607,1612,1709,1714, and is there any more or less comprehensive/organized reference to see what these actually mean instead of digging deep into the source code of currently unknown projects involved?Diagnostic Logs
